Over-engineering is what I did...

- Raspberry pi

- Open/close sensors on the garage door as well as the side-entry door

- Camera pointed at the side entry door taking photos while it is left open

- Push alerts to my phone if either door is opened between specific hours of the night (Break-ins to detached garages were huge in my neighborhood)

- Voice controls from my fucking phone to open the door

I sold the house otherwise it'd probably be an even larger monstrosity today



That sounds really cool. One of the advantages of owning your house.
